Where your participation in the scheme expires, or this agreement ends early, please contact us and we will arrange for an agent to inspect and collect the car. Please remember that you have no rights to extend, or to buy the car at the end of, your participation in the scheme.
If you are due to receive a new car, we will try to match the delivery of the new car with the collection of the old car, although this cannot be guaranteed.
You will not be charged for minor wear and tear to the vehicle. However, the vehicle leasing company will charge you for unreasonable levels of wear and tear, or where items are missing. You will be given a copy of the BVRLA Wear and Tear Guide to help you understand what constitutes minor wear and tear. Unreasonable wear and tear may include:
Lack of regular checks by you leading to faults and damage being undetected and unrepaired
Not adhering to the car manufacturer’s recommended maintenance and servicing schedule
Not taking responsibility for the day-to-day care and maintenance of the car leading to general neglect
Poor quality of body repairs (you should always use a repairer approved by the vehicle leasing company)
Missing stamps on service books/missing service books
Missing spare key/navigation system disc
The cost of unreasonable levels of wear and tear may be deducted from your salary.
When the car is returned at the end of this agreement it needs to include all tools, charging cables, spare wheel and locking nut (if supplied), instruction manuals, keys, equipment, the manufacturer’s service record books and other items that were supplied with the vehicle.
If you do not make the car available to us at the end of the agreement, then your employer may be charged a fee that is calculated on a daily basis until such time that the car is handed back and all direct costs including charges incurred by the leasing company as a consequence of such failure. Your employer may recoup these costs from you.
Please be aware that there might be circumstances where your right to use the vehicle terminates early due to a breach of the lease agreement between your employer and the leasing company that is not your fault. In such a circumstance your right to use the vehicle will end and the car needs to be handed back. In such circumstances your employer will be responsible for cancelling any further deductions from your salary.
If it is agreed by the leasing company that you can keep the car for an additional period after the expiry of the initial term, you will continue to pay rentals at the rate and time as specified in the Order Form or as otherwise agreed.
